Comics

When I was a kid and teenager, I read comics. The usual stuff which I inherited from my older brothers, or found in the city library. Asterix, Smurfs, some Superman and Batman. Looking back now, that doesn't count. It ceased when I started to read "real" books, with longer stories and better availability in the library.
Fast forward a decade or so. At the beginning of 1999, I needed something to read. I had visited my friend for new year's eve, and finished the book on the train ride there. So I dropped by a comic shop, browsed through their offerings, and ended up with the first two volumes of 666. Yes, I admit feeling insecure reading that stuff on the train, where everyone passing through the aisle would see the pictures. That started a new phase of comic reading for me. Next on the list was Druuna, and then a lot of others. Not all with sexual content, but most for adult audiences. After searching the internet about comics, I soon realized that this was a good occasion to practice French. My favorite comic format are big hardcover albums, self contained or a limited number of volumes until the story ends, and those are most popular in France and Belgium. But I also have a nice collection of Batman comics now.
When searching the web for comics, I also became interested in web comics. I think the first one was Chopping Block. From there, I checked out other Keenspot comics, ending up with Clan of the Cats and Exploitation Now!, which explains why I'm here with Errant Story. One other, non-Keenspot comic I also read is She's a Nightmare (flash). Those are the webcomics for which I ordered merchandise or dead tree versions so far.

Wiki

I usually spend my online time with much more technical stuff. Not that anyone here would care, but this is a wiki page I wrote. When I read through the dead letter format of Errant Story, and noticed that there was an Errant Story Wiki with lots of chapter summaries missing, I decided to do something about it. At the time of this writing, I have contributed summaries for chapters 7 to 10, three of which were brushed and polished by Tiamat. You can expect more to come, though probably not in the short term. Unless someone beats me to it.

Forum

When I started reading Exploitation Now!, I also looked into the forum occasionally. There were strange things going on, with newbies that drew too much attention to them being verbally killed in creative ways. It was called "initiation". I never cared to join the forum, or I joined and forgot about it. Anyway.
Exploitation Now! ceased, and there was a gap before Errant Story started. The new forum was already up, and there were strange things going on there as well. And there were discussions about the style of initiations, because fans didn't want to piss off potential fans of the new story. Initiations continued, but they now included resurrection of the verbally deceased candidates. Still, I didn't care to join the forum. There was nothing I had to say, and lots of other things to do.
After I started to contribute to this Wiki, I thought it was a good time to finally join the forum. Since nobody there uses a real name, I used my nickname [http://forums.kyhm.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile
